Jordan Lane says he has taken a great deal of confidence out of Hull FC’s defeat to Hull KR last time out from a personal perspective ahead of the Super 8s.

The back rower has broken into the first-team this season and made his tenth appearance for the Black and Whites late last month in the derby.

Lane returned to the squad and produced a solid performance off the bench and he admits it was the boost he needed prior to the upcoming Super 8s, which begin on Friday for Hull when they host Wakefield Trinity.

“I went out there to try and make an impact and earn my spot back in the team and I think I did that,” Lane told the club's website.

“I was over the moon to be named in the team to play in the Hull Derby because that’s what every local lad dreams of.

“It was such a great feeling to even play in a game like the Hull Derby and to come away having played fairly well is a massive confidence boost for me.”

Hull fell to their fourth consecutive defeat in the round 23 clash and Lane admits the squad have improvements to make for this Friday’s meeting with Wakefield.

Last time the sides met FC were hammered 72-10 and Lane explains that the players are aiming to right those wrongs.
